We have found out today that there are COVID-19 affected families that are lacking basic needs. For example, babies and toddlers with no diapers. So we quickly had people on Oahu pick up 14 boxes of diapers and 4 boxes of wipes, and send them over. Special mahalo to Plama Lnai for assisting with the transport of these items to Lnai. #staypositivelanai
